We have three sponsors again this week:

I chose to use the image 'Max' from The Stamping Boutique and I made this round card:

I found a picture of a vinyl record on google, printed it, cut it out and then sprayed it with some Crafter's Companion Spray and Shine.  I coloured Max with my Spectrum Noir Pens and cut him out with a Spellbinders Large Pinking Circle die.  I inked lightly, with the die still in place, with some black soot distress ink and mounted the image directly onto the record shape.  The sentiment stamp is from LOTV and is stamped onto a smaller pinking circle that has received the same treatment as the image.
